Role

This is an ideal step-up role for a technically strong IT professional ready to move into formal leadership. As Head of IT & Digital Services, you’ll lead three growing teams—IT, Software Development, and Information Security—while remaining hands-on in delivery, automation, and systems improvement. This hybrid “doer-manager” role offers the opportunity to drive internal change, enhance service delivery, and shape a high-performing tech function aligned with business goals.

Your Responsibilities

  • Drive improvements across internal IT systems, infrastructure, and support processes
  • Contribute hands-on to technology projects, especially in automation and service optimisation
  • Shape and grow the internal IT, InfoSec, and software development capabilities
  • Work closely with stakeholders to identify inefficiencies and deliver practical, tech-enabled solutions
  • Support the development and delivery of internal business intelligence and reporting tools
  • Maintain and improve information security practices in line with business requirements
  • Champion a culture of learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement

Your Competencies

  • Proven experience in a senior IT or technical role (e.g. infrastructure, dev, automation)
  • Strong technical capability with hands-on experience in systems support or solution delivery
  • Experience working with internal IT systems, development projects, or business automation
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g. Azure, AWS) and modern IT practices
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to lead by example
  • Clear problem-solving mindset with a practical, delivery-oriented approach

Your Profile

The ideal candidate will be hands-on, proactive, and focused on delivering results, with a strong commitment to continuous improvement without needing close direction. They should be comfortable balancing day-to-day operational tasks with broader leadership responsibilities. A positive and collaborative approach is essential, along with the ability to build strong relationships across teams.
